As Connie said, R is already in the release.

As each release is released (SL 52, 53, 54) we put the latest version of 
R at the time.  But we do *not* put that latest version of R into the 
errata section.  That is because some people want to stay on the version 
of R that they have, and some people want the latest version of R.
If you want the latest version of R, update to the latest version of SL.
If you want to stay at the version of R that you have, you can stay at 
the version of SL that you are at.
